Hello dear Pixelians! 🙌
This update comes with exciting news! The notorious Guitar Minigame has been revamped and is now much more easier than before.
But before we dive into the details, let’s take a look at everything included in this update.
✨ Highlights of Update [v1.0.19]
📱 Social Media
Pixelians, this update isn't just for the game, your Pixelian’s phone is getting an upgrade too!
A brand-new app is being introduced that lets you fast-forward time while boosting your Mood.
To keep things healthy for your Pixelian, your daily social media usage is capped at 5 hours. That means you can fast-forward up to 5 in-game hours per day, all while gaining a Mood boost.
And we’re just getting started! We’re planning to add even more apps to both your Pixelian’s phone and computer in future updates!
🎸 New Guitar Minigame
We understand that many players found the Guitar Minigame to be overly challenging.
As a result, we’ve thoughtfully redesigned it to provide a more easier and less frustrating experience for all of you.
By integrating familiar mechanics from other minigames we already have, the updated version now delivers a much more intuitive and easier gameplay flow.
In this new version, you’ll only need to focus on one note at a time, a significant simplification compared to the previous version, where you had to manage four notes simultaneously.
Additionally, the control scheme has been updated: the minigame now uses the arrow keys on keyboard, or the D-Pad when playing with a controller or on Steam Deck.
While reworking the minigame, we also took the opportunity to enhance the user interface.
From now on, the appearance of the minigame UI will adapt to match the color of your guitar. We hope this small detail makes the gameplay feel more immersive.
🍞 Baker Job
We’ve also made a few minor adjustments to the Baker Apprentice job to improve the overall user experience.
Since kneading and baking takes a lot of time, we’ve extended the customer wait time by 15 seconds to reduce pressure during the process.
Additionally, we’ve repositioned the Kneading Table and Flour, as their previous placement was too close together and made interactions less efficient.
Lastly, we’ve streamlined the baking flow: previously, you had to manually retrieve baked items from the oven. Now, if your baking is successful, the finished product will automatically appear on a plate, saving you time and making the process more intuitive.
✅ Bug Fixes
- Phone Side Job Dialogue with Client Stuck on Three Dots: This long-standing bug has been difficult to track down, as I was never able to reproduce it on my end; until recently, when I received a save file where the issue occurred. If your character previously got stuck on the "three dots" screen with a blank dialogue window, this should now be resolved. Additionally, you will be correctly teleported to the appropriate side job location. However, if you experience another tpye of bug with this, feel free to let me know!
- Banking Quest Trigger Fix: Resolved an issue where leveling up your Pixelian by two levels at once could cause you to miss the Banking quest. Now, if your save file has never triggered the Bank Introduction quest, it will be granted upon loading the game.
- Controller Visuals for Modeling Job: Corrected visual prompts for controller inputs during the Modeling Job, ensuring they now display correctly.
- Dialogue Minigames on Controller & Steam Deck: Fixed a bug that prevented certain dialogue minigames, such as Debate and Kiss, from functioning properly when using a controller or playing on Steam Deck.
With the number of bugs steadily decreasing, we’re now shifting more focus toward adding new content and enhancing existing features, all while continuing to address any issues that may still affect your experience.
